This is the first 10 pages of the book Being Wrong: Adventures in the Margins of Error by Kathryn Schulz. She has a great TedTalk that correlates really well with these first ten pages too. She basically talks about how being wrong/failure is essential to true learning. Really nicely pairs with Dweck's growth mindset.

Chapter 1 of Notice and Note: Strategies for Close Reading
This book has some great resources for getting students to interact with text efficiently through dialogue and collaboration.

I just became a part of an Instructional Leadership Corps through CTA and Stanford University, in which teachers become leaders and train other teachers (just like NCWP), and the work we are doing in NCWP aligns with this SO well! Here is one of the articles by Jeff Zwires from Stanford. Rather long, but good. I will gladly share any resources I come across.

Good resource for teachers and students for flipped classroom, assessment, and collaborative activities.

From Lisa Bond: Integration tableau (frozen pose/theatre) into ELA
Students can use tableau (a frozen pose - theatre term) to work through their understanding of a piece. They have to justify the poses they chose and how they represent the task at hand. They get to collaborate, be creative, think critically, and communicate their knowledge in a fun way!
